Too many options to list, Tony:

Worked there and lived south in Brentwood several years. Great place. Opryland was big there at one time but I think it has been bought and sold several times.

If you are a Civil War Student... many key battles fought in Nashville proper, across the river in Murfreesboro and south in Franklin. Near Downtown Nashville and Vanderbilt University, there was a duplicate of the Parthenon but since I have not been back in many years, it may have fallen into dis-repair by now.

I would suggest getting tickets to the Bluebird Cafe for the nights they have Wannabee Nashville Performers but I can't vouch for the food or cost. Many of my friends complain of price gouging in that area, especially the old downtown Nashville Music Joints.

Have fun, take lots of photos if convenient.
